But at this time, a loud laugh came from behind the big tree: "Who said that I didn't come back, but it just depends on how happy you are drinking and having fun here, so naturally it is not good to disturb you Yaxing." ”

While speaking, the big tree actually stretched out a branch and fell on the snow in front of it, and the appearance of a person appeared on it, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to find anything unusual about the big tree.

Jin Wu Zhenjun looked over like electricity, and said unhurriedly: "Senior brother of epidemic avoidance, why didn't Jingmu Zhenjun come?" ”

The senior brother who avoided the epidemic smiled slightly, and said as if he was in a hurry: "Senior brother Jinwu, you mean that coward?" Now he is still in the city of the Finger to find out the news. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward towards the Beast Demon True Monarch and the others, but when he saw the corpse boiled in the iron pot, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and a disgusting look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

No one noticed this, and the Beast Demon True Monarch didn't notice anything unusual, but he said with some concern: "This Jingmu True Monarch, although he has taken this Demon Lord's Beast Transformation Pill, he is still not very relieved, if he stays in the Earth Finger City, then the four spirit beasts of the Wuji Gate will go back at this time, wouldn't it be immediately revealed their identity?" ”

"The valley master doesn't have to worry."

Epidemic Avoidance True Monarch snorted a haha, but immediately said: "Although that Jingmu True Monarch is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is a little anxious, and his mouth is not weak, and he has always dealt with the four spirit beasts of Wuji Gate, which should be no problem." ”

The Beast Demon True Monarch nodded slightly, and the righteous path monks were all pedantic. Although this Jingmu Zhenjun is a villain, it is the most suitable to deal with them, so he asked, "Elder of Epidemic Avoidance, what news can you find?"

For the situation of the Earth Finger City, the Beast Demon True Monarch still attaches great importance to it, although he wants to break through this city, but he doesn't want to have too many losses, after all, the current Ten Thousand Beast Valley is already at the bottom of the ten veins of the Demon Gate, and he can no longer afford any losses.

The True Monarch of Epidemic Shelter sighed lightly. With an embarrassed face, he said, "Qiqi Valley Lord." Now there are thousands of cultivators in the Earth Finger City, and there are forty or fifty Jindan monks, if it is with our current strength, even if it is to break through the Earth Finger City. It is also bound to be a heavy loss. ”

As soon as this statement came out. The Beast Demon True Monarch couldn't help frowning. This is also what he is worried about, this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to play the striker, just to get the spoils first after breaking the city. If he wanted to take the city of Dizhi at a heavy price, it was really not what he wanted.

"Are we just going to wait here?"

The Elephant Lion Zhenjun couldn't help but flick his two big ears, and the look on his face was a little dissatisfied, for the warlike him, he urgently needed war to improve his strength.

"Valley Lord, it's better to attack the city immediately, my subordinates can't wait."

Although he is not as belligerent as the Elephant Lion Zhenjun, Jinwu Zhenjun is lustful by nature, and when he thinks of the Jindan nuns in the Dizhi City, he is eager to immediately break through the city and enjoy it wantonly.

Anyway, he believed that even if others died, he would definitely be able to escape safely with his supernatural powers, and the high-level female cultivator had an irrepressible attraction to him.

At this time, I heard the epidemic avoidance true monarch say: "Valley master, there is a subordinate Jianyì, I heard that Zhenguan Zhenjun led 30,000 Shenwu troops on the way to Dizhi City, and it is already time to return to Hulu Valley in the early morning of tomorrow, it is better to start from them." ”

As soon as his words fell, Jin Wu Zhenjun and Elephant Lion Zhenjun glanced at each other, and their eyes swept over the essence at the same time, as if they had understood the meaning of the words of the True Monarch of Epidemic Avoidance.

The Beast Demon True Monarch also looked moved, and said in a deep voice: "Elder of Epidemic Avoidance, do you mean to besiege the city and send reinforcements?" ”

This time, the True Monarch didn't speak, as if he was just clicking to the end and didn't want to express his opinion here.

But the others couldn't help it, and the Elephant Lion True Monarch also said beside him: "Gu Lord, my subordinates think that this plan is feasible, these beast cavalry are not easy to train, but they can't have too much loss." ”

"Yes, besieging the city and sending reinforcements is indeed a good strategy."

Haw Par Zhenjun also spoke out on the side to persuade, not because he had any ideas, but because the lion and the tiger and leopard were like brothers, and he naturally wanted to echo his brother's words.

The Beast Demon True Monarch also had some intention in his heart, the Ten Thousand Beast Valley had lost several Jindan elders over the years, and its strength had been reduced to a time when it had never been, and it was categorically unable to bear some more losses, if it was to storm the Ground Finger City, the price paid would be too great, and when the time came, it would let the Human Demon True Monarch's Spirit Devouring Hall take advantage of it in vain.

As soon as he thought of this, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Tiger and Leopard True Monarch, you immediately lead 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride around the city, make a detour to the city overnight, and rush to ambush in the Hulu Valley before dawn, leaving all the 30,000 Shenwu troops who Zheng Guo came to help. ”

"Yes!"

The tiger and leopard Zhenjun immediately complied, threw away the bones in his hand, and immediately rushed down, obviously preparing to gather his subordinates and rush to the gourd valley overnight.

"Gu Lord, Zheng Guo's Shenwu Army heard that its strength is not weak, so it only sent 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride over, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely annihilate the other party."

Xuangui Zhenjun took a sip of the blood wine in the cup, and his face flashed with a worried look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the Elephant Lion True Monarch looked a little displeased, and said angrily: "The Right Protector, the Tiger and Leopard Rider are all warriors with one hundred warriors, and the seat is a third-order lion and tiger beast, how can it be comparable to the Zheng Guo Shenwu Army?" ”

The Beast Demon True Monarch nodded slightly, as if he was extremely confident in the beast cavalry, and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, I heard that Zheng Guo's Shenwu Army has been underpaid for several years, and its combat effectiveness has long been at the bottom of the vassal states, and it is ......."

Speaking of this, his face turned cold, and he continued: "Before this battle, this Demon Lord was already familiar with the map, that gourd valley is not far from Dizhi City, and its terrain is extremely dangerous, let alone 10,000 beast cavalry, even if 3,000 people are ambushed or so, it is enough to annihilate these 30,000 divine warrior troops. ”

"The valley lord is strategizing, and we are far behind."

The true monarch of epidemic avoidance immediately complimented the matter, but a mocking smile flashed in his eyes, and no one caught it in a flash.

At this time, three hundred miles away from the gourd valley, in the north wind howling, snowflakes fell all over the sky. There was a white expanse everywhere, and the soldiers were originally marching in the snow, which was very demanding for the soldiers.

However, the Shenwu Army was formed by monks in the Qi Refining Period, and naturally it was not comparable to ordinary mortals, and the 30,000 Shenwu Army in the two states of Qingning, under the mobilization of Jin Linfeng's Tiger Talisman and the documents of the Ministry of War, rushed to Dizhicheng day and night.

Zhenguan Zhenjun, one of Zheng Guo's three major generals, was the one who guarded the canyon pass when there was a beast tide in Qingzhou that year. It's just that at that time, he was just building the foundation of the Great Perfection and cultivating. However, his outstanding talent for leading soldiers was exceptionally promoted to a general, and he was as famous as the two true monarchs of the bronze wall.

This time, his 30,000 Shenwu army did not travel lightly, after all, it involved the war of the Xiuzhen Kingdom. Of course, some of the necessary equipment for defending the city is indispensable. These 30,000 troops rushed to the city of Dizhi to support. It also takes on the task of transportation.

They set out from Qingzhou and escorted 200 large bed crossbows and 100 catapults, such as large city-defending equipment. It couldn't be packed in the Nabao bag at all, so it could only be dismantled in several cities along the way and transported to Dizhi City.

The refining method of these city-guarding equipment is only available in the refining sect of the Lu State, and when the old monarch is still in power, a batch will be customized in the Lu State every year and transported to the Song State to strengthen the defense of the city.

Of course, the power of these bed crossbows and catapults is naturally extraordinary, just like the Nine Palaces Serial Crossbow of the Wuji Gate Instrument Hall, even if ordinary people can manipulate it, but they must use the spirit stone as a urge, once it is activated, it can shoot a real person.

However, these city-defending equipment were extremely cumbersome, and they were transported in the snow, and the 30,000 Shenwu troops had already exhausted their mana and were exhausted all the way to the hurried journey.

Before the First World War of Junwang Mountain, Zheng Guo's treasury had already been swept away by Tianyi Zhenjun, and the Shenwu Army needed twenty or thirty top-grade spirit stones every year, but where could they afford it? Therefore, military salaries have been in arrears for many years, and the combat effectiveness is naturally far inferior to usual.

Zhenguan Zhenjun saw the tiredness of the soldiers in his eyes, but the situation of the Dizhi City was urgent, and the golden hall master of the Wujimen Foreign Affairs Hall asked him to rush to the Dizhi City early tomorrow morning, and at that time, he also agreed to make a military order.

Although the Golden Hall Master had already gone to find the two True Monarchs with the Iron Wall and wanted to persuade these two generals to mobilize the Divine Martial Guard, the Zhenguan True Monarch knew that the military order had been established, and there was absolutely no reason to change it.

"All the soldiers are on the road with all their might, and in the early morning of tomorrow, be sure to rush to the city of Dizhi!"

It's a pity that his words didn't have any effect, the recovery of mana requires spirit stones, and the Shenwu Army, who has been in arrears all year round, has insufficient cultivation in peacetime, where is there room to travel?

Zhenguan Zhenjun couldn't help frowning, and immediately urged Jin Dan to operate his mana, and wisps of green light emanated from his body, condensing in the sky above his head.

The pale green light suddenly exploded, like a drizzle of rain sweeping through the sky, sprinkling on each soldier's body, and the originally tired body seemed to be recovering some mana.

This is 30,000 Shenwu Army, Zhenguan Zhenjun has forcibly urged Jin Dan several times in a row, trying to shine on every soldier, and finally spurted out a mouthful of blood "Wow", it was actually because of this magical power, exhausting mana and hurting vitality.

This magic power is naturally a dead wood spring, when the Zhenguan Zhenren guarded the canyon pass, Dongmu Zhenjun once taught him this magic power, which can be regarded as an extremely rare opportunity.

At this time, the Shenwu Army, which had exhausted its mana, seemed to have recovered some mana, but when they saw the Zhenguan Zhenjun with blood stains on the corners of their mouths, their faces couldn't help but change slightly.

"So it seems that the Commander has made up his mind to rush to the Ground Finger City tomorrow morning no matter what?"

"Yes, we can restore mana, but the leader who has been involved has hurt his vitality."

"Don't say anything, let's hurry now! Otherwise, the commander's hard work will be in vain. ”

“……”

At this time, the Shenwu Army was talking about it, but since the commander of the army gave the order, he couldn't be lazy, and immediately activated his mana, urged the Shenxing talisman on his knee, and began to rush away.

But at this moment, the sky suddenly flashed, and a psychic bird broke through the wind and snow, this is the spirit bird used by the Wuji Gate to communicate, not only is it extremely fast, but also good at stealth, only when it reaches the target, it will show its shape.

Zhenguan Zhenjun stretched out his hand to break through the air and grabbed it, and the psychic bird flew into his hand, and at the same time, he immediately got a message in his sea of knowledge, which was from Elder Lei of the Wuji Gate of the Earth Finger City.

After getting this information, Zhenguan Zhenjun's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking? After the psychic bird flew away, he immediately waved his hand and gave the order: "Immediately bury the pot and make rice." After half a day's rest, we continued on our way. ”

At this moment, the Shenwu Army all looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with the commander?

Just before he used his mana to exert his magical powers, he restored his mana for the Shenwu army, and wanted to rush to Dizhi City in the early morning, how could he let everyone rest in the blink of an eye.

What news did the psychic bird bring? This made the Shenwu Army unable to figure it out, but when it came to military orders, they only had to obey the order.

At this time. The sky is not yet fully bright. The 10,000 tigers and leopards under the command of the Tiger and Leopard True Monarch have bypassed the Earth Finger City and come to the Gourd Valley.

Among the five monster elders of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Tiger and Leopard True Monarch ranked second, and his mana was not weaker than that of the Tiger True Monarch. And the speed is not below the Remnant Leopard True Monarch. Although the reputation has not been obvious over the years. The main reason was that he was training beast cavalry.

He has put too much effort into training the beast cavalry, and he currently commands 10,000 tigers and leopards. It was trained by him in five years, these mounts are all third-order spirit beasts, and the cultivation of the cavalry is all high-level qi refining, and the combination of the two with the mounts is enough to be one for a hundred.

Over the years, Haw Par Zhenjun has trained Haw Par to ride, but he has never had a war, and now that he has a chance to make a name for himself, he will naturally not let it go.

"Sons, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, if this battle is won, the prestige of the tiger and leopard riding will surely be famous!"

Haw Par Zhenjun's voice was a little excited, he has always paid attention to reputation, although in terms of his own strength, he is far inferior to his eldest brother Elephant Lion Zhenjun, but his ambition is not as good as it.

Over the years, training beast cavalry in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Beast Demon True Monarch really didn't have a place to use them, so he was inferior to the Six Beast Elders in terms of prestige.

But now, there is a rare opportunity in front of him, as long as he destroys the 30,000 Shenwu army of Zheng Guo, he will inevitably become famous in a battle, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will definitely become famous in the Darong country.

The tigers and leopards are all tiger and wolf warriors, and they have long wanted to become famous in a fight, and their morale is immediately high, and they should be roaring like a mountain.

Haw Par Zhenjun nodded slightly, his face flashed with a satisfied look, the most important thing in fighting a war is morale, now the Haw Par Knight is very high, it is simply unstoppable, and it is naturally the most suitable for combat.

Hulu Valley, as the name suggests, the entrance is relatively narrow, and only one person can barely pass, but after crossing this gorge, the belly is getting bigger and bigger, like a round big pocket, but to the final exit, it is a sheep intestine path that can only be passed by one person.

Such terrain is extremely dangerous, if someone is ambushed inside, and there are two Jindan masters at both ends of the exit, it is simply a one-man pass, and no one can escape.

The cold in the mountains on both sides, the snowflakes on the branches and leaves of the trees, the tiger and leopard Zhenjun suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, this is his intuition for many years in the deep mountains, this is the survival instinct of the beast, and there is no need for any real reason,

Although I got the news from the Epidemic Avoiding True Monarch that Zheng Guoshenwu's army will arrive in Hulu Valley early tomorrow morning, there should be no problem now, but I feel that it is not appropriate to rush in and go in without sending scouts to investigate.

And as long as the men and horses drilled into this narrow mountain gorge, surrounded by mountains of snow, the tiger and leopard Zhenjun's eyes were like electricity, he observed the terrain and thought secretly: "What the valley lord said is right, this is an ideal place for sneak attacks, and no one will ambush it in advance, right?" ”

As soon as he thought of this, he was even more alert in his heart, and he stood in front of him, turned his head and shouted to his subordinates: "Go to a few people, go to the front and explore the way!" ”

As soon as his words fell, seven or eight horsemen galloped out from behind and rushed into the gorge.

These cavalrymen held the reins in one hand and their spears in the other, and held them across their chests, although they did not believe that there was an enemy hidden in the gorge, but they were well-trained on weekdays, and had long developed the habit of being vigilant at all times.

At this time, suddenly the sound of hooves came, and one of his subordinates appeared at the mouth of the canyon, and hugged his fist towards him in a distant voice: "Tiger and leopard commander, one qiē is normal." ”

Haw Par Zhenjun knew that it was one of his personal soldiers, and his voice was quite normal, so he immediately put his heart at ease, secretly thinking that he was too careful.

The tiger and leopard Zhenjun gave an order, and immediately the tiger and leopard rode towards the canyon, the belly of this gourd valley was huge, and the tiger and leopard rode slowly inside, as if they were in their pockets.

It is rumored that this gourd valley is the place where two powerful people fought in ancient times, and this huge belly was originally a canyon, but it was smashed out by someone with a spiritual weapon.

Over the millennia, the Gourd Valley has been flanked by lush trees, and along the steep cliffs around it, are also thorny shrubs, and of course are now covered in snow.

However, in the jungle on both sides, if each ambush has 5,000 soldiers, even if the opponent has ten times as many men and horses, they will be caught off guard, and there is no escape from catching turtles in the urn.

Carefully observing the terrain of the gourd valley, the tiger and leopard Zhenjun is extremely satisfied, and this place is simply the most suitable for ambush.

"Sons, in two hours, this is the place where Zheng Guo's Shenwu army must pass, we are ambushed on both sides at this time, and when they pass here, we will definitely kill a piece of armor."

"Yes, yes!"

The tiger and leopard responded like a roar on the mountain, and the snow on the mountain forest shook down, and the morale was extremely high.

Haw Par Zhenjun nodded slightly, and continued to order: "Now listen to the orders of this commander, make an ambush on both sides of the two wings immediately, choose a bunker and wait for the rabbit." ”

At this time, his eyes swept over the seven or eight cavalry soldiers who were exploring the road in front, but he saw that they stiffened, and yellow sand gushed out in their bodies, and they actually burst on the ground, as if breaking an empty bottle containing sand, and sprinkling a piece of yellow sand on the snow.

"Not good, retreat immediately!"

A flash of thought swept through the mind of the tiger and leopard Zhenjun, and he was immediately shocked, his face was colorless, and he only felt a chill running up and down his body, the seven or eight cavalry were bound by the wind and sand, like a marionette, and he was already unable to do it himself, obviously just now he just deceived himself into leading the army into the canyon, if the exit was blocked at this time, then together with tens of thousands of subordinates would be in his pocket.
